The Marches (New Naturalist 118)

Collins, London, 2011. First Edition, Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9780007248162 A complete natural history and the first large-scale survey of this unique part of the country. The borderland between England and Wales has long been a region of contention. Its distinctive geography, wedged roughly between Welsh mountains and English river beds has not only isolated this rural, sparsely-populated slice of land, but created a unique identity. Stretching along the bordering counties with England - Cheshire, Shropshire and Herefordshire - the Welsh Marches are made up of a mixture of mountains and moorlands, farms and wooded river valleys. The natural history of the region is like most parts of the British Isles - inextricably linked to the activities of man across many thousands of years. Andrew Allott brings together a wealth of material in the latest New Naturalist volume, much of which is published here for the first time. Presenting the first large-scale survey of this unique part of the country, he offers a complete natural history of the area, covering the hills, fossils, ice ages, meres, mosses, forests, streams and rivers, whilst also focusing on man's impact on the region, the changing wildlife, the impact of agriculture and the consequences of past and present industrial action. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. x + 452. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. in archive acetate film protection. Dust Jacket un-clipped. Gilt titles spine. green cloth.

‎ Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Biological Records Centre, Cambourne, Cambridgeshire, 2005. First Edition, Softcover (Saddle-stapled), Illustrated by: Louise Bacon. Near Fine Condition. published in February, 2005 this provisional atlas shows mammal distribution based on a survey of the whole modern county of Cambridgeshire and City of Peterborough carried out by volunteers during 1998-2002 in addition to data from the Cambridgeshire Bat group, the British Trust for Ornithology's Winter mammals project (2000-2003), and data from the national Biological Records Centre, Monks Wood. Coverage may not be equal in all parts of the county, which has to be taken into account when assessing distribution. The presence of a species has been determined by a variety of means: sightings, tracks and other field signs, owl pellet analysis and road/predator casualties. The maps show distribution plotted at 2 km. by 2 km. square for the whole county. Where more than one species is represented on a single map, the key details which symbol relates to which species.

Beddard, Frank E.

Earthworms and their Allies

Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1912. First Edition, Hardcover (Original Cloth). Very Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. a volume in the 'The Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature' series; title page design is a reproduction of one used by the earliest known Cambridge printer John Siberch, 1521; Earthworms and their Allies, written in 1912 by Frank E. Beddard, offers both an introduction to the principal facts about earthworms and an analysis of their distribution across the world. The author states that: "The importance of earthworms in questions relating to geographical distribution is so universally admitted that it seemed to me convenient to embody in a short volume the principal facts. It became necessary in order to accomplish this task in an adequate fashion to preface the distributional facts with some anatomical and zoological data. I have reduced this section of the book to a minimum and I trust that the illustrations will enable the reader, who is not specially acquainted with the structure of these animals, to obtain an idea of their general features and variability in external character and internal anatomy. While the use of technical terms is inevitable in presenting such details, it will be found, I think, that a reference to the figures will render them intelligible." Size: 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. 150 pages. Fading to spine colour. Previous owner's signature in ink inside front cover. Black titles spine & front. illustrated by b/w. drawings.

He is remembered for the numerous expeditions he conducted for the New York Zoological Society, his deep dives in the Bathysphere, and his prolific scientific writing for academic and popular audiences. "It is possible to enter a jungle and become acutely aware of poison fang and rending claw but it is infinitely more wonderful and altogether satisfying to slip quietly and receptively into the life of the jungle, to accept all things as worthy and reasonable; to sense the beauty, the joy, the majestic serenity of this age-old fraternity of nature, into whose sanctuary man's entrance is unnoticed, his absence unregretted. The peace of the jungle is beyond all telling." Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 9 + 295 + 2 pages. a few pancil marks to margins.

Beebee, Trevor J. C. & Richard Griffiths

Amphibians and Reptiles (New Naturalist 87)

HarperCollins (Harper Collins), London, 2000. First Edition, Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9780002200837 Building on the solid foundations established by the two earlier New Naturalist volumes on this subject, eminent herpetologists Trevor Beebee and Richard Griffiths have brought together a wealth of new and fascinating information on the British amphibians and reptiles. An introductory chapter looks at the subject of biogeography and how factors such as geological history, latitude and climate affect ecology, life histories and behaviour. The authors then go on to discuss historical interest in amphibians and reptiles, from how they have featured in witchcraft and legends to modern perspectives. A third chapter covers basic biology of amphibians and reptiles, before each of the main groups - newts, frogs and toads, lizards, snakes and chelonians - are examined in further detail. A comprehensive account for each species covers behaviour, life history, reproduction and distribution, as well as ecology and conservation status, areas in which significant discoveries have been made in recent years. There is also a chapter with important new information on the burgeoning number of introduced species in Britain, such as bullfrogs, alpine newts and wall lizards. During the last half century, amphibians and reptiles have been among the most serious casualties of the changing way of life in the British countryside. In recognition of the threats they continue to face, Beebee and Griffiths rightly dedicate a final, substantial chapter to the increasingly important issue of conservation and discuss the measures needed to be taken to ensure the future survival of the British herpetofauna. With over 100 black and white line drawings and illustrations, and an 8-page colour section, this is an authoritative work on a subject of great natural history interest.

Benton, Ted

Grasshoppers and Crickets (New Naturalist No. 120)

Book + CD HarperCollins (Harper Collins), London, 2012. First Edition, Hardcover (Original Cloth). As New/As New. 9780007277230 A detailed and up-to-date account of the behavior and ecology of grasshoppers and crickets. In this latest New Naturalist volume, Ted Benton offers a comprehensive account of the appearance, variations, behavior, habitat, life-cycles, and distribution of all the native British species of bush-crickets, crickets, groundhoppers, and grasshoppers. Many details from direct field observation are included, which are published here for the first time. With up-to-date information on newly arrived and recently established species, as well as long-established non-native species-such as the house cricket and greenhouse camel cricket-Benton pays special attention to a key area of evolutionary thought that has stimulated an international research focus on grasshoppers and crickets. Recent approaches to mating and reproduction emphasise differences and even conflicts of interest between males and females. The sexually selected adaptations and counter-adaptations to such conflicts of reproductive interest are used to explain the astonishing diversity of reproductive behavior exhibited by grasshoppers and crickets: male territorial behavior, coercive mating, complex songs, elaborate courtship performances, the donation of edible "nuptial gifts," the reversal of sex-roles, mate-guarding, keeping of "harems" and, in a few species, parental care of the offspring. These chapters provide an introduction to the theoretical issues and an overview of many case studies drawn from research on orthopterans from across the world (but including British species where relevant). A unique DVD features many aspects of the behavior of nearly all British species, including song, conflict, courtship behavior, sex-role reversal, and egg laying. The book is lavishly illustrated with color photographs and line drawings, covering all the British species (including immature stages in most cases), key habitats, and many aspects of behavior.

Bishop, Billy

Cley Marsh and Its Birds: Fifty Years as Warden

The Boydell Press, Woodbridge, Suffolk, 1983. First Edition, Hardcover (Original Cloth), Illustrated by: Will Garfit. Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. 9780851151809 b/w. map end-papers; tipped-in, colour frontis. drawing of the author by Will Garfit; Cley has been described as 'the Mecca of ornithologists for the last 140 years', and Billy Bishop was warden of the Norfolk Naturalists' Trust Nature Reserve at Cley from 1937, eleven years after it had been started, until his retirement in 1978. His memoirs are a fascinating account of a world which has changed dramatically, from the days of the Gentleman Gunners whose great objective in life was to shoot the rarest birds for their collection, but who had an unrivalled knowledge of their subject, to the modern methods of conservation and management of habitat. Billy Bishop has some marvellous stories to tell, both of past characters, gunmen and wildfowlers, and of the birdwatchers and photographers of today. But his book is also the story of the successful creation of a superb reserve, and of the many unusual birds which have been seen there. A checklist of the birds sighted at Cley, with brief notes on their rarity, is included, as are extracts from his diary as warden, with the highlights of forty years' work, including the return of lost breeding species such as the black-tailed godwit, the avocet and the bittern, and the story of how an injured bittern which he had rescued helped to solve the vexed question of how bitterns boomed. This delightful book will be a must for the birdwatcher, but will also appeal to a much wider audience.

Terns (New Naturalist 123)

Collins, London, 2013. First Edition, Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9780007412471 This New Naturalist volume provides a much-anticipated overview of these fascinating birds - the first book on the natural history of British and Irish terns since 1934. Terns are small seabirds that are commonly seen along coastlines and estuaries in the summer months - their graceful flight and command of the air are among their most attractive features.Most of the five species of terns breeding in Britain and Ireland today are under intensive management, involving protection from predators, human interference, egg-collecting, recreational activities, land-use changes, and a range of issues concerning climate change, including rising sea levels and flooding of low-lying colonies. If these protective measures were abandoned then the numbers of terns would inevitably decline, with the possibility of several species ending up on the endangered list. Covering the history of terns in Britain and Ireland, David Cabot and Ian Nisbet explore these diverse issues as well as offering a comprehensive natural history of these stunning seabirds. Drawing on a wealth of new information and research, the authors focus on migrations, food and feeding ecology as well as breeding biology and behaviour. Perhaps most importantly, they highlight recent conservation issues and prospects, and what this means for the future of terns. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. viv + 461.
